简要总结
The objective of this study is to evaluate an educational program for Atrial Fibrillation patients under Warfarin treatment regarding to patients' knowledge of Warfarin, related life distresses and quality of life.
详细描述
This is a parallel-group randomized controlled study. Four measurements were (a) knowledge of Warfarin; (b) life distresses caused by Warfarin treatment; and (c) quality of life as primary and secondary endpoint. All participants participated in a face-to-face interview during the pretest and at the 6-month follow-up in the outpatient department (OPD). Each subject in the experimental group was taught face-to-face individually according to investigator's brochure in the OPD by researchers trained in a standardized protocol. The control group received a brochure only.

时间窗: 6-month follow-up
There were six questions and the contents were consistent with investigator's brochure used in investigator's research setting. When participants answered questions correctly, or illustrated at least two correct examples for each item, participants received one point; otherwise, participants received no point. The range of scores was 0-6. The higher the score, the better the patient's knowledge of Warfarin was.
